It seems that Florian himself was missing on Cc too, probably by accident.

I would certainly welcome Jean-Christophe to step in for fbdev, since I
frequently have trivial patches for the subsystem, either from myself
or one of the subarch maintainers, and it would be helpful to get feedback
on them in order to merge them through arm-soc when they depend on other
patches we carry, or to have them picked up into a git tree.
